European Commission: Public Health Program 2008 – 2013
 Prolepsis is coordinating a new 3-year European project,
which officially started on September 1, 2011. HProImmune is co-funded by the
DG SANCO Public Health Program 2008 – 2013 with the kind support of the
Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention, KEELPNO.
Its general objective is to promote vaccination coverage of health
care workers in different health care settings by developing a tailored immunization
toolkit.
More specifically, HProImmune aims to:
- Increase awareness about the most important vaccine
preventable diseases which pose a particular risk to EU health care workers.
- Increase awareness about immunizations among health care workers
through a database comprising specific information about vaccination from across
the EU.
- Provide knowledge and new data about vaccination behaviors
and barriers among health care workers.
- Widely disseminate information on best practices for
promoting health care workers’ immunization in different health care settings.
- Provide knowledge on how to communicate and promote
immunizations among health care workers by piloting a tailor-made immunization toolkit.
- Increase awareness and promote health care workers’ immunizations
through a widely disseminated and pilot tested immunization promotion toolkit
for health care workers. The toolkit will include recommendation, communication
guidelines, tools and fact sheets.
